- Anxious for you to see "Padmaavat": Ranveer tweeted
- SRK did not reply to Ranveer's tweet but told a fan he's seen the film
- "Very, very good," SRK said when asked if he liked "Padmaavat"
New Delhi:
On Friday, Ranveer Singh plugged "
Padmaavat" promotion during Shah Rukh Khan's #AskSRK session and was initially ignored by the 52-year-old actor. Hours after he ended the #AskSRK session, the
Jab Harry Met Sejal actor replied to Ranveer's tweet about his new film
Padmaavat. SRK's excuse for delayed reply - he didn't recognise it was Ranveer Singh. He tweeted: "So sorry didn't realise it was you, because now you are Khilji (Ranveer played Alauddin Khilji in "
Padmaavat") for me.
Bahut acchhi picture hai bhai... I saw it and loved it." Happy, Ranveer?
Here's Ranveer's tweet:
And this was SRK's reply:
During the #AskSRK session, Shah Rukh also told a fan that he's seen "
Padmaavat" and he found it "very, very good."
"
Padmaavat," which released on January 25, has
collected Rs 166 crore so far. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film also stars Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. Ranveer Singh's portrayal of uncouth Alauddin Khilji has been
praised by several Bollywoodwallahs, including Amitabh Bachchan.
Earlier today, Shah Rukh Khan decided to interact with his fans on Twitter on "one of those rare days" when he was "free at home and family is working," he tweeted. Naturally, Shah Rukh Khan was flooded with questions about his upcoming film
Zero, the ongoing U19 world cup and also some puzzles. He was funny, as always, during the interaction. Here are few examples:
Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in 2016's
Jab Harry Met Sejal, which tanked at the box office. His next film is Aanand L Rai-directed
Zero, co-starring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.
